Principal Investigator(s):
United States Department of Commerce. Bureau of the Census

Summary:

This data collection supplies standard monthly labor force
data as well as supplemental data on work experience, income, noncash
benefits, and migration. Comprehensive information is given on the
employment status, occupation, and industry of persons 15 years old
and older. Additional data are available concerning weeks worked and
hours per week worked, reason not working full-time, total income and
income components, and residence on March 1, 2002. This file also
contains data covering nine noncash income sources: food stamps,
school lunch programs, employer-provided group health insurance plans,
employer-provided pension plans, personal health insurance, Medicaid,
Medicare, CHAMPUS or military health care, and energy assistance. Also
included are data covering training and assistance received under
welfare reform programs, such as job readiness training, child care
services, and skill training. Information on demographic
characteristics, such as age, sex, race, household relationships, and
Hispanic origin, is available for each person in the household
enumerated.

Universe:
Civilian noninstitutional population of the United States
living in housing units and members of the Armed Forces living in
civilian housing units on a military base or in households not on a
military base.

Data Type(s):
survey data

Data Collection Notes:

In this hierarchical dataset, there are three
record types. The first record type is Household, with 142 variables
for 98,848 records. The Family record type has 76 variables for 89,063
records, and Person records have 471 variables for 217,219 records.
There are a total of 405,130 records in the file.

Methodology

Sample:
The CPS sample is based on the civilian noninstitutional
population of the United States. The sample is located in 792 sample
areas comprising 2,007 counties and independent cities with coverage
in every state and the District on Columbia. In all, some 72,000
housing units or other living quarters are assigned for interview each
month, about 57,000 of them containing approximately 112,000 persons
15 years old and older. Also included are demographic data for
approximately 31,000 children 0-14 years old and 450 Armed Forces
members living with civilians either on or off base within these
households. In 2002, the March CPS Annual Demographic File (ADF),
sample was expanded, primarily to improve state estimates of
children's health insurance coverage. The expansion is known as the
CHIP sample. This sample increase results in the addition of about
34,000 households to the ADF. Adding together the regular sample
(60,000), plus the Hispanic sample (4,500) which is part of the March
survey sample, plus the CHIP sample (34,500), the total sample size
for the ADF is about 99,000 households.
